Anti-wrinkle consultation in London, from a Consultant Plastic Surgeons-Led Clinic in South Kensington
Santi is a medically-led aesthetics clinic just off South Kensington station. We support patients seeking subtle, natural-looking softening of expression lines, with a full clinical consultation before any procedure is considered.
Why choose Santi for an anti-wrinkle consultation in London?
We prioritise assessment over “quick fixes”
Your appointment begins with a detailed medical and aesthetic assessment. We explore your concerns, medical history, preferences and what you want to look like — then discuss appropriate options, including doing nothing when that’s the best choice.
Soft, refined results — not an over-treated look
Many of our London patients are performers, professionals and people who prefer subtle improvements rather than a dramatic change. The aim is to soften expression lines while preserving movement and character.
South Kensington, close to Kensington & Chelsea
Our clinic is on Thurloe Street, seconds from South Kensington station and within easy reach of Kensington, Chelsea, Knightsbridge and Belgravia. The setting is calm and discreet rather than a high-street environment.
If prescription treatments are discussed, your clinician will explain indications, alternatives, possible side-effects and aftercare. You will have time to decide — there’s no pressure to proceed on the day.
Consultations and treatments at Santi are led by GMC-registered consultant plastic surgeons, with decisions guided by clinical appropriateness rather than sales targets.
You can view our consultant team and clinical governance approach on our meet the team page.
Concerns we commonly assess
Expression lines are caused by repeated muscle activity and changes in skin structure over time. In consultation, we assess your facial movement patterns and discuss options that may include skincare, skin-quality treatments and—where clinically appropriate—wrinkle-relaxing prescription treatments.
Expression lines & facial movement patterns
- Frown lines between the eyebrows (glabella)
- Horizontal forehead lines
- Lines around the eyes (“crow’s feet”)
- Subtle eyebrow lift in suitable patients
- Fine-tuning for chin dimpling or downturned mouth corners in selected cases
For an overview of how consultations work and how to choose a clinic, see our anti-wrinkle consultation hub.
Advanced consultation pathways
- Jaw clenching / bruxism — see our jaw clenching (masseter) information.
- Headache patterns — see our migraine resources.
- Underarm sweating (axillary hyperhidrosis) for patients where conservative measures haven’t helped.
- Very subtle “micro-relaxation” approaches in selected patients seeking a light-touch change.
Not every option is suitable for every patient. Your clinician will explain rationale, expected duration of effect and possible side-effects during consultation.
What to expect at Santi London
Every appointment is built around a structured consultation. The aim is not simply to “book something in”, but to understand what you want to achieve and whether a treatment plan makes sense for your face, timeline and risk tolerance.
We discuss medical history, medications, previous treatments and any upcoming events. Your clinician examines facial muscle activity at rest and in movement, then talks through realistic outcomes, limitations and alternatives.
If you’re suitable and wish to proceed, we agree a conservative plan. You’ll understand what is being treated, what may not change, and how we’ll review the result.
You receive clear aftercare guidance. Changes (where relevant) develop over several days, and a follow-up review may be recommended to assess outcome and fine-tune if clinically appropriate.
How much does an anti-wrinkle consultation cost?
Fees vary between London clinics depending on the time allocated, clinician expertise and the complexity of the concern. At Santi, fees reflect a consultation-led, doctor-delivered service with time reserved for assessment, planning and aftercare.
- We focus on assessment and suitability, not “sales”.
- Consultation time is included; not every consultation will lead to a procedure.
- Advanced indications (e.g., jaw clenching / sweating pathways) are assessed and priced separately where relevant.
For up-to-date fees, please see our treatment price list or contact the clinic.
New to facial aesthetics?
A consultation is a chance to ask questions, understand risks and benefits, and explore alternatives. There is no obligation to proceed on the day.
How to choose a clinicAnti-wrinkle consultations — frequently asked questions
These FAQs are general and do not replace personalised medical advice. Your clinician will discuss your individual circumstances during consultation.
How long do wrinkle-relaxing results usually last?
In many adults, results (where relevant) often last around 3–4 months, although this can be shorter or longer depending on the individual and the area treated. Your clinician will discuss realistic expectations for your face and goals.
Is it safe?
Safety depends on your medical history, the appropriateness of the plan and the skill of the clinician. Any approach discussed in clinic has potential side-effects and is not suitable for everyone. We prioritise assessment, informed consent and conservative planning.
Who performs treatments at Santi London?
Treatments at Santi are carried out by experienced clinicians following a medical assessment. We do not offer “walk-in” appointments; time is reserved for consultation, planning and aftercare.
Can you help with jaw clenching, headache patterns or sweating?
We offer consultation pathways for jaw clenching / bruxism, headache patterns and underarm sweating where appropriate. Suitability varies and careful assessment is essential. Read more on our jaw clenching information and migraine resources pages.
Is there downtime?
Many people return to normal activities shortly after an appointment. You may notice mild redness or occasional bruising depending on what’s done. You’ll receive clear aftercare guidance, including any short-term restrictions relevant to you.
